that's crazy. i've never seen or heard of anything like those private shows in my area. i think usa boxing as a whole does a good job of keeping **** like that out of amateur boxing.Originally posted by !! Shawn View Post -
The story got way out of hand now it is up to this.
There are private shows were I live.
If you are willing to buy a ticket you are allowed to watch.
How many places have can amateurs box at that are actually dry.
Most of the big advancing tournaments in my area are in casinos.
Another thing the CSAC has an issue with is boxers 8 to 16 years old boxing in the first place.
There is this one team a couple of hours away from me that when they come to the shows in my area they bring 20 to 40 people and only 5 of them are boxers and they have the 3 coaches.
And they get all pissed when we don't allow all the other bunch of them in for free to the show. Come on the tickets are only 2 dollars for the show. Man I have my wife buy a ticket cuase the money helps boxing in my area.Last edited by Athorn4940; 03-23-2009, 10:59 PM.Comment

Damn. For shows I've fought on, standard price for tickets is $20 in advance or $25 at the door. And there's only usually like 8-10 fights.Originally posted by Athorn4940 View Post
That's why I never go to amateur shows unless I'm fighting lol.Comment

This **** about that 49 year old dying was ****ed up. I know he had a couple concussions and then died. The news report said it was an "unsanctioned bout". They have smokers there maybe 3 times a year. I'm not sure if he died after the smoker or just sparring. People are generally controlled during the sparring sessions. You gotta have a license now to spar at that gym, but other places, I don't think they give a ****.
I heard about that Olympic Club stuff. Rich folks betting on each fighters. I knew this one teenage kid who boxed in a couple of those, I think he split two fights. I hadn't seen him for awhile, then I saw him at a party dead drunk trying to start a fight with my friend, who in response simply started laughing at him. Then he backs down, and looks at me, and just wants re-assurance that I've seen him box and that he's good.

so how are amatuers any more at risk because people outside the ring are drinking or ********? what a bizarre story, they repeatedly say that amatuer boxers are at risk, i was expecting some amatuer margarito type ****, not a man having a beer outside the ring. whats the problem exactly? the only shows i;ve fought at where people werent allowed to drink were championships/tournaments, where theres absolutely no atmosphere at all, all the shows i've boxed on with a good atmosphere and attendance have had alcohol present, i have no idea what their problem isComment

GooD inFo. I box in the Bay Area...makes sense now that i think of it. I"ve seen some *****, but never thought too much about it. I'm only concerned on training and winning.
Boxing's tough. I'll probably have some collateral damage later in my life, but that's why i gotta prepare. The better i prepare and take care of myself, the less risk i'll be in.
it's crazy. I hope this suspension doesn't fcuk up my mission.
I've actually fought in one of those private USA boxing "illegal" boxing matches. How was i supposed to know they were illegal? They were right about the towel thing though. I figured if USA Boxing officials were there, then it's all gravy right?
Fcuk that. i gotta talk to my Coach today, make sure my mission isn't fcuked.Comment
